The rangers achieved the one-month mark since the group\u2019s formation entering the month of April, operating in and around pockets of Torquay and Jan Juc.<\/p>\n
Areas frequented by rangers include along the foreshore, Taylor Park, Cosy Corner and Spring Creek Reserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been great during our first month and a bit,\u201d Mr Dalton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re getting a group of helpers each week between eight and 12 people with a core group of six or seven,\u201d Mr Dalton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of our new helpers continue to come through Facebook given it\u2019s our only method of promotion and our level of production in terms of picking up rubbish remains high.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over the past month, the rangers have the most profound effect in areas coined as \u201cjunkyards\u201d according to Mr Dalton.<\/p>\n \u201cDuffields Road towards Jan Juc and Coombes Road out the back of Torquay seems to be a bit of a dumping ground,\u201d Mr Dalton said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe send a couple of volunteers to those spots each week and they pull together three to four bags of rubbish each time within an hour of work, which tends to be a lot of general household rubbish including bottles and cans.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce we get those areas sorted down the track, we should expect the vast majority of the rubbish we collect to dwindle down.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/TorquayRubbishRan_33044.jpeg\")
